Our associates help us to deliver the statutory functions of the organisation and include panellists, advisors and committee members. Education associates will work with us across a range of Quality Assurance (QA) activity and education development.

As part of its duty to protect patients and maintain the standard of dental education, the GDC carries out:

Inspections of education and training programmes that lead to registration as a dentist or dental care professional (DCP) or entry to a specialist list.

Analysis of documentation provided by education and training programmes

Advising on projects to further develop dental education and training.

We are developing an innovative risk-based approach to the way in which we carry out our QA processes. QA activity will be determined by a range of factors, including the information we obtain through our paper-based regular monitoring process. This information will be used to determine where we inspect, how often and when. In addition, we will identify themes or topics that may require standalone QA activity or be integrated across all inspections. Education associates will assess documentary submissions from training providers prior to an inspection and assist in the drafting of inspection reports after the inspection takes place.
